WHAT RULES THE WORLD.

They say that man is mighty,
 He governs land and sea, He wields mighty sceptre
 Ger lesser powers that be; But mightier power, and stronger, Man from his throne has huIle y, l" For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world" In deep, mysterious conclave, Mid philosophic minds, Unravelling knotty problems,
 His native sphere man finds; Yet all his "ics and "isms"
 To heavens four winds are hurled, l" For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world" Behold the b-av, c1mmarder,
 S:anch mid the carnage and, Behold the guidon dying
 With the colors in his hand; Brave men they be- yet craven
 When this banner is unfurled: " The hand that rocks the cradle
 Is the hand that rules the world" Great statesmen govern nations, Kings mould a peoples late, B The unseen hands of velvet
 These giants regulate. The iron arm of fortune
 With woman's charm Is purled, " For the hand that rocks the cradle Is tEe Land that rules the world

CITIZENS MUTUAL RELIEF.
The Annual Meeting and Election of
Officers.

The annual meeting of the Citizens Mu-
tual Relief Association was held in Recep-
ton Hall last evening. About fifty members
were in attendance. President Byron d.
Verrill was in the chair and in the absence
OF the secretary, Hon. Franklin J.. Rollins,
Mr. Philip G. Brown, served as secretary.
pro TEN.
sEcRETARY's REPORT.
Secretary Rollins had been called away
suddenly by the dangerous illness of his
mother and had not time to prepare full
report. He submitted statement of the
amounts received by him during the year
which is embraced in the report of the treas
urer. The report was accepted.
The president stated, in addition to this.
that the membership at the time of the last
assessment was 936. Since when several
new members have been admitted. During
the year there have been twenty-five death
assessments, one assessment being passed.
of the twenty-five assessments, four were
for members who died before the commence
ment Of the year. There have been nine
teen deaths during the year, the assessment
on the last not being due as vet. At the
present time it so happens that no member
Is indebted to the Society and there are no
bills outstanding against the Association
known to the treasurer. The officers feel
that the Society Is on a firm foundation. AT
ter the misfortune which befell the organiza-
ton year ago, and considering the large
number OF deaths during the first half of the
year, 1t was to be expected that some mem
bers would drop out, but the Society is now
gaining in membership. The Lovett case is
still pending in court. The directors hope
and believe that the decision will be fayora-
BILE to the Society, but sum is kept in re-
serve sufficient to meet the claim should Ran
adverse decision be made.
